Tyler Penland Posted December 9, 2025 Share Posted December 9, 2025 Looking at the 3km NAM tonight, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see thunder snow in that band on Wednesday evening. Looks stout at the very least. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gopack42 Posted December 9, 2025 Share Posted December 9, 2025 When I left my place yesterday at noon, we had 6.5-7" my car to clear off. Not sure what fell at the house after that since I've not been home since then. I went to a friend's house in Newland after getting back from JC and I ended up staying the night because the back roads were a mess. Wonder how much flow snow we get later in the week? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckethead Posted December 9, 2025 Author Share Posted December 9, 2025 The alpenglow was pretty spectacular this morning around 645. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted December 9, 2025 Share Posted December 9, 2025 12z NAM 3km is showing a hell of a Northwest flow tomorrow night. Winds gusting over 40mph for most and temps in the mid 20’s. That’s a good recipe for snow showers to break containment and make it even into the valleys. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted December 9, 2025 Share Posted December 9, 2025 18z NAM 3km smokes the high elevations. As I said before this is also a good solution for getting those flakes into the valleys. 30mph winds and temps in the mid 20’s allow those flakes to push out much farther from the higher elevations. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most won’t appreciate how anomalous of a signal it is to see accumulation outputs on models for the South Mountains and Brushy’s. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyewall Posted December 10, 2025 Share Posted December 10, 2025 The question for me is would it be worthwhile to come up very early Thursday morning for this upslope event? The one drawback is the strong wind gusts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one drawback is the strong wind gusts. I think it’s def worth a trip to the Northern Mountains for this one (Avery county). All guidance seems to indicate this one will rip up here. Biggest concern would be getting here before 8 or 9 as blizzard conditions will set in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could Google it, but what's the criteria for actual blizzard conditions. I'm up in Avery.
